Believe it or not, Mark, I taught an Evelyn Wood speed reading course when I was a fresh-out-of-college teacher. I don't know if it helped the students any, but I certainly learned the eye movement that enables me to scan a page swiftly — and I still struggle to avoid using that so-called skill in order to enjoy what I am reading and maybe remember some of it. We, as humans, were never meant to blow through our studies or leisure reading in microburst fashion.
The good news is that AI speed reads at a remarkable rate, which is how they deliver complex answers to complex questions in seconds thanks to massive computer capabilities, which I don't understand but which actually helped me complete a complex tax form rather easily last April 14th. I'll leave the speed reading to them.
Any truth to the rumor that windmill energy was also the brainchild of Evelyn Wood?
Asking for a friend.
It’s true, Art. Tell your friend Evelyn also invented the steam-powered toothbrush.
What was the point of speed reading, anyway?
